I don't know.
But as usual, it does not take long for the loony anti-vax crowd to come out of the cracks.

The AFL have updated their article

Yep you feel for the Selwood family, condolences to all.

A good reminder that Footy players are human and should be respected in our posts and at games.

Whenever we hear/read of an athlete, famous person etc who's put their hand up to say they're suffering and will be stepping away from A, B, C while they put themselves first, I hate when you then you then read replies of "well what do they have to be depressed about", "I wish I had their money" or other such crap as it's just so dismissive of the struggles we may one day find ourselves in

As the saying goes, "money doesn't buy happiness" and at the end of the day, from the outside we don't know what others are dealing with - whether that's Joe on the street or someone you've watched on the footy field for a decade

100% I agree


I have no inside info, however I feel the Doggies currently have one player struggling with mental health.

This has not been confirmed by the club or player, however his absence and reported pass issues lead to think this maybe the case.

Anyway I will mention no name, just to say I feel the press has been harassing this player.

Which i feel is wrong once the club and player advise the media said player is on leave from the club for personal reasons, the media should respect that and leave the player alone until they return.

Was a beautiful and kind person. Will be a loss felt by many.

Anyone who has read anything in the last two weeks knows it's Jamarra.
